Swiss authorities have ordered residents to abandon a tiny mountain village in the eastern district of Graubünden because of fears it could soon be buried beneath a collapsing mountainside.
A thick coat of fog covered the mountaintop overlooking the village of Brienz on Thursday, where vegetation has been replaced by a slope of mud and rocks.
Farm workers could be seen loading cows onto a truck and driving it out of the nearly deserted village. Some areas were cordoned off, with yellow warning signs in five languages that read: "Attention rockfall."
